The Minimum Racing weight defined the sum of the minimum weight defined by the TCR Technical Regulations has to be respected at any time during the event. The Minimum Racing Weight can be modified by BOP corrections during the season (art 79).

12



2020 75. The weight of any car may be checked at any time during the Competition as follows: All drivers entered in the Series will be weighed, wearing their complete racing apparel, at the first Competition of the season and at mid-season. If a driver is entered later in the season, he will be weighed at his first Competition. The weights of the drivers will then be entered into a list which is under the control of the TCR Technical Delegate. To identify which driver is on board the car, each driver will bear a numbered sticker symmetrically at the level of the opening for visibility on both sides of his helmet as well as on his FIA-approved head-restraint device. 76. a) During and after all the practice sessions: 1) the TCR Technical Delegate will install weighing equipment in the pit lane and/or in an area as close to the first pit as possible. This area will be used for the weighing procedure; 2) the TCR Technical Delegate will select cars to undergo the weighing procedure. The TCR Technical Delegate will inform the driver by means of traffic lights and/or by flags that his car has been selected for weighing; 3) having been informed that his car has been selected for weighing, the driver must proceed directly to the weighing area, without outside help, and may be asked to stop his engine; 4) the car will then be weighed, with or without the driver, and checked. In the case of an irregularity, the results will be given to the driver or a team representative in writing; 5) the car must reach the weighing area and return to its garage under its own power, with no outside assistance, failing which it will be placed under the exclusive control of the marshals who will take the car to be weighed or to its garage; 6) the driver and his car may not leave the weighing area without the consent of the TCR Technical Delegate or his nominee. b) After the race: The Technical Delegate will weigh the classified cars of his choice, except in a case of “force majeure”. c) Should the weight of the car be less than that specified in the Technical Regulations when weighed under a) or b) above, the car and the driver may be disqualified from the Competition save when the deficiency in weight results from the accidental loss of a component of the car. d) No solid, liquid, gas or other substance or matter of any nature whatsoever may be added to, placed on, or removed from a car after it has been selected for weighing or has finished the race or during the weighing procedure (except by a scrutineer when acting in his official capacity and, after the race, in accordance with the prescriptions of the TCR Technical Regulations). e) Only scrutineers, officials and team members on officials’ request may enter the weighing area. No intervention of any kind is allowed there unless authorised by such officials. 77. Any breach of these provisions for the weighing of cars may result in the application of one of the following penalties: - a drop of places on the starting grid for a later race in which the driver takes part, - the cancellation of all or part of the times set in practice or Qualifying - the disqualification of the car concerned, - any other penalty provided for in the Code. BALLAST WEIGHT 78. Starting from the second Series Competition a 20kg ballast will be added to the minimum weight of the car of a Competitor entered on Race by Race entry at his first appearance in the Series and must be carried from the scrutineering. BALANCE OF PERFORMANCE AND COMPENSATION WEIGHT AUTOMATIC FORMULA 79. The balance of Performance (BoP) will be defined by WSC before the start of the season and may be adjusted at any time by the TCR Technical Bulletins. In addition to the BoP, cars are also subject to the TCR Compensation Weight (CW), this will be defined by an Automatic Formula defined by TCR Technical Department (WSC). All changes to the CW will be communicated by the TCR Technical Department within seven (7) days prior the start of the Competition and ratified by the Stewards of the meeting at the latest on the day before the qualifying session.

13



2020 Any breaches of these rules will be reported to the Stewards. Penalties may go as far as disqualification from the Competition. GENERAL CAR REQUIREMENTS 80. No signal of any kind may pass between a moving car and anyone connected with the car’s entrant or driver save for the following: a) legible messages on a pit board; b) body movement by the driver or by the pit wall team member c) lap trigger signals from the pits to the car. Lap marker transmitters shall be battery-powered and once operating must be free-standing (i.e. not connected to any other pit equipment by means of wires, optical fibres, radio, Wi-Fi, etc.), firmly fixed along the start and finish line and incapable of receiving external information. Such lap triggers shall use a transmitter operating with a carrier frequency above 10 GHz (radio or optical) and a beam half angle of no more than 36° when measured at the 3dB point, and shall not be used for the transmission of any data from pit to the car other than the lap mark. Lap mark data must be transmitted repeatedly and must be demonstrably consistent; d) verbal communication between a driver and his team by radio; e) electromagnetic radiation between 2.0 and 2.7 GHz is forbidden. GENERAL SAFETY 81. Official instructions will be given to drivers by means of the signals set out in the Code. Competitors must not use flags similar in any way whatsoever to these. The driver and his mechanics must follow the instructions of the marshals at all times. 82. Drivers are strictly forbidden to drive their car in the opposite direction to the race unless this is absolutely necessary in order to move the car from a dangerous position. A car may only be pushed to remove it from a dangerous position as directed by the marshals. 83. Any driver intending to leave the track or to go to his pit or the paddock area must signal his intention to do so in good time, making sure that he can do this without danger. 84. During practices and the races, drivers may only use the track and must at all times observe the provisions of the Code relating to driving behaviour on circuit. 85. A driver who abandons a car must leave it in neutral or with the clutch disengaged if safe to do so, not on a gradient/ hill and with the steering wheel in place. 86. Repairs to a car may only be carried in the paddock, pits or on the grid. 87. The organiser must provide at least two fire extinguishers of 5 kg capacity to each competitor and ensure that they work properly. 88. Save as specifically authorised by the Code or these Sporting Regulations, no one except the driver may touch a stopped car unless it is in the paddock, the team’s designated garage area, the pit lane or on the starting grid. 89. At no time may a car be reversed in the pit lane under its own power. 90. During the periods commencing 15 minutes prior to and ending 5 minutes after every practice session, and the period between the commencement of the formation lap which immediately precedes the race and the time when the last car enters the Parc Fermé, no one is allowed on the track with the exception of: a) marshals or other authorised personnel in the execution of their duty; b) drivers when driving or under the direction of the marshals; c) team personnel, in the case of a start procedure. d) team personnel working on a car on the grid during a race suspension in accordance with Article 146. 91. During a race, the engine may only be started with the starter, except in the pit lane where the use of an external starting device is allowed under the conditions provided for in Articles 130. 92. Drivers taking part in the Competition must always wear the equipment specified in Appendix L to the Code. The use of a Frontal Head Restraint (FHR) according to the FIA Appendix L chapter III Art 3 and of the

14



2020 helmets listed on the FIA Technical List no. 25 for the FHR use (FIA Technical Lists no.33,41, 49 and 69) are mandatory. 93. In order to be able to access to the airway of an injured driver should the need arise, the following test will be carried out at least once per season with each participant in the Series: The driver is to be seated in his car, with full-face helmet and FIA-approved head restraint in place and attached and safety harness buckled. With the help of two rescuers, the chief medical officer of the Competition must be able to remove the helmet with the driver’s head maintained in a neutral position at all times. If this is impossible, the driver will be required to wear an open-face helmet homologated for use with the FIA-approved head restraint device. 94. A speed limit of 60 km/h during the Competition is enforced in the pit lane. Except during the race, any driver who exceeds the limit will be fined for each km/h above the limit. During the race, the Stewards may impose any time penalties on any driver who exceeds the limit. 95. If a driver has serious mechanical difficulties during practice, qualifying or the race, he must leave the track or return to his pit as soon as it is safe to do so. 96. The car’s white headlights, red rear light and rear fog lights must be illuminated at all times when it is running on a track that has been declared a “wet track”. It shall be at the discretion of the Race Director to decide if a driver should be stopped because his lights are not working. Should a car be stopped in this way, it may re-join the Competition when the fault has been remedied. 97. Only four team members per participating car (all of whom shall have been issued with and shall be wearing special identification) are allowed in the signalling area during practice and after the start of the race. People under 16 years of age are not allowed in the pits, pit lane, on the pit wall and on the starting grid. 98. Animals, except those which may have been expressly authorised for use by security services, are forbidden in the pit area and on the track and in any spectator area. 99. The Race Director or Chief Medical Officer of the Competition can require a driver to undergo a medical examination at any time during a Competition. 100. Failure to comply with the general safety requirements of the Code or these Sporting Regulations may result in the disqualification of the car and driver concerned from the Competition. PIT LANE 101. Drivers must follow the directions of the marshals at all times. a) For the avoidance of doubt and for description purposes, the pit lane shall be divided into two lanes. The lane closest to the pit wall is designated the “fast lane”, and the lane closest to the garages is designated the “working lane” and is the only area where any work may be carried out on a car. b) Unless a car is pushed from the grid at any time during the start procedure, cars may only be driven from the team’s designated garage area to the end of the pit lane. c) Any driver intending to start the race from the pit lane may not drive his car from his team’s designated garage area until the 10-minute signal has been given and must stop in single file in the fast lane. When cars are permitted to leave the pit lane, they must do so in the order in which they arrived at the end of the pit lane, unless another car is unduly delayed. d) Competitors must not paint lines on any part of the pit lane. e) No equipment may be left in the fast lane. A car may enter or remain in the fast lane only with the driver sitting in the car behind the steering wheel in his normal position, and under its own power. f) Team personnel are only allowed in the pit lane immediately before they are required to work on a car and must withdraw as soon as the work is completed. The supporting arms may not exceed 4 metres in length (measured from the line marking off the garage from the working lane) and they must be positioned in such a way that all suspended equipment and hoses are at least 2 metres above the ground. g) It is the responsibility of the competitor to release his car after a pit stop only when it is safe to do so. Cars in the fast lane have priority over the ones leaving the working lane. h) Cars must be angle-parked in formation at all free practice sessions, qualifying sessions (rear of the car into the pit entry at an angle of approximately 45 degrees facing towards the pit lane exit), even in the case of a

15



2020 change of one or more wheels. Only in this position can cars be worked on when stopped in the pit lane working area. During the course of an official qualifying session, all competing cars must remain in the pit lane whilst not on the track. At no time will competing cars be allowed in their garage or the paddock areas until such time as the official qualifying session has ended and the car has been cleared from any post-qualifying scrutineering checks and released from the Parc Fermé, except with the express permission of the TCR Technical Delegate. i) During all practice sessions and races, the garage openings (facing the pit lane) must be free from any kind of covering that obstructs a clear view of what is happening inside the garage. During the Competition, the cars must be parked with the front facing towards the pit lane at all times when in the garages. j) For all practice sessions and races, the cars are allowed to drive in the fast lane only after the pit exit is open (except in case c) and/or when a race is suspended). k) During the activities relating to the support Competitions taking place on the same weekend, a car may be moved in the pitlane only with the agreement of the Race Director. l) cars in the fast lane must maintain a constant speed, with no sudden acceleration. m) each team pit allocation per each Competition will be released by TCR Euro Series Ltd, according to the current Series Team Classification standings. FUEL, REFUELLING AND PIT ASSISTANCE 102. The single fuel supplier is designated by TCR Euro Series Ltd. The TCR-approved comparative analysis control device provided by the supplier is the only authentic one. The check of fuel’s specification may be made at any time of the competitions. 103. At any time, the car must contain at least 2 kg of fuel for sampling. The 2 kg of fuel must be removed from the tank via the self-sealing connector placed near the engine and using the car’s fuel pump system (in conformity to FIA Technical list n.5) Each competitor will provide a fuel hose 1,5m long equipped with the counterpart of the self-sealing connector allowing the fuel collection. The cooling of the fuel, by any means whatsoever, is prohibited (cf. Appendix J). 104. Except when work is carried out on a car, all personnel must remain inside the pit. There is no limitation on the number of mechanics. Specific rules will be communicated by TCR Euro Series Ltd in case of no pits availability for competitors. 105. During the free practice sessions, qualifying session and races refuelling and/or removing of fuel is not permitted. 106. Any breach of the provisions of the Code or these Sporting Regulations relating to pit assistance and refuelling may result in the disqualification of the car and driver(s) concerned from the Competition.

TESTING 107. From 17th August 2020, drivers entered in the Series for the full season cannot take part in any test sessions or any TCR Competitions with TCR or similar cars taking place at any venues on the Series calendar, before the Competition takes place. Exceptions are allowed for Series full season drivers competing in any other TCR Competition at that venue, on a full season entry which will be released by TCR Euro Series Ltd not earlier than 27th July 2020. The same rule applies to race by race entry drivers if their entry in the Series has already been made, or their participation announced or shared with media. 108. The TCR Euro Series may organize common private test sessions, maximum n. 2 per season, in any venues, in that case art. 107 is not applicable. FREE PRACTICE, QUALIFYING PRACTICE 109. Save where these Sporting Regulations require otherwise, pit and track discipline and safety measures will be the same for all practice sessions as for the race. 110. No driver may start in a race without having taken part in the qualifying practice session, except in a case of “force majeure” duly recognised as such by the Stewards.

16



2020 111. a) During practice, there will be a green light and a red light at the pit lane exit. Cars may only leave the pit lane when the green light is on. Further, a blue flag or a blue flashing light will be shown at the pit lane exit to warn drivers leaving the pit lane if cars are approaching on the track. b) At the end of each practice session, all drivers may cross the Line only once. 112. The time schedule and the programme of the practice sessions will be published separately. In view of the fact that some races will be with other Series, there may need to be flexibility in scheduling. The Stewards have the unappealable power to amend the Competition format and timetable in any way at any time. 113. There will be two free practice sessions of 30 minutes. 114. There will be one 35-minute qualifying practice session. The qualifying session will be split into 2 parts, Q1 and Q2. All cars will take part for the first 20-minute, Q1. At the end of this time, all cars will return to their pits. The fastest 12 cars at this point, according to the provisional results, will recommence qualifying practice for the last 10 minutes, Q2. Only cars that are entitled to score points in the Series may take part in Q2. From the start of Q1 until the end of Q2, the following principles will apply: - no fuel can be added or removed from the cars; - all cars must be angle-parked on the working lane, when not on the track; - cars will only be allowed on the fast lane when the pit exit is open at the start or restart of the session. After the completion of Q1, the cars that will not take part in Q2 will be under Parc Fermé regulations. Any work that is being carried out on these cars must stop at the chequered flag, and the relevant cars must be resting on their wheels, if it’s possible to do so, for the remainder of the session. Only the cars allowed to take part in Q2 may be worked on after the chequered flag of Q1. The interval between Q1 and Q2 will be of at least 5 minutes. Should it become necessary to postpone Q2 more than 30 minutes after the chequered flag of Q1, all the cars, including those which did not qualify for Q2, must be directed to their respective garage and placed under Parc Fermé rules. The cars admitted to Q2 will be released at the latest 30 minutes before the start of Q2. In order to determine which drivers to eliminate for Q2, if two or more drivers set identical times during Q1, priority will be given to the one who set it first. After completion of Q2, all cars must be directed immediately to the Parc Fermé. - Cars that are on the track will be driven directly to the Parc Fermé without stopping in the pit lane, unless instructed otherwise by the race officials. - Cars that are in the pit lane must immediately be pushed by the teams to the Parc Fermé. In both cases, drivers and teams must comply with the instructions of the race officials. 115. If a car stops during practices or qualifying it must be removed from the track as quickly as possible so that its presence does not constitute a danger or hinder other competitors. If the driver is unable to drive the car from a dangerous position, it shall be the duty of the marshals to assist him. If technical means or manual (marshals push the car) are used by the marshals to remove the car to a safe position, this assistance cannot be used to help the driver/car concerned to rejoin the qualifying session or the races. 116. Practice may be interrupted as often and for as long as deemed necessary to clear the track or to allow the recovery of a car. In the case of free practice only, the Race Director may decline to prolong the practice period after an interruption of this kind. Furthermore if, in the opinion of the Stewards, a stoppage is caused deliberately, the driver concerned may have his times from that session cancelled (in substitution or in addition to other available penalties) and may not be permitted to take part in any other practice session that day. In case of a driving infringement during any practice session, the Stewards may drop the driver as many grid positions as they consider appropriate (in substitution or in addition to other available penalties). In case of an infringement concerning the non-respect of the track limits (Appendix L to the ISC, Chapter IV, Article 2), the Stewards may cancel the improved lap times set as a result of that infringement (in addition to or in substitution for any other available penalties). Unless it is completely clear that a driver committed a driving infringement, any such Incident will normally be investigated after the relevant session; any penalty imposed shall not be subject to appeal. Where appropriate, regard will also be given to the provisions of Article 42.

17



2020 117. All cars abandoned on the circuit during any session will be brought back to the pits as soon as possible and may participate in the subsequent session. 118. Should the qualifying session be thus interrupted, no protest can be accepted as to the possible effects of the interruption on the qualification of drivers admitted starting. 119. All laps covered during qualifying practice will be timed. With the exception of a lap in which a red flag is shown, each time a car crosses the Line it will be deemed to have completed one lap. STOPPING THE PRACTICE 120. Should it become necessary to stop the practice because the circuit is blocked by an accident or because weather or other conditions make it dangerous to continue, the red flag and the abort lights will be shown at the Line. Simultaneously, red flags will be shown at all the marshals’ posts. When the signal is given to stop, all cars shall immediately reduce speed and proceed slowly back to their respective pits; parking in the fast lane is forbidden. All cars abandoned on the track will be removed to a safe place. At the end of each practice session, all drivers may only cross the Line once. THE GRID 121. At the end of qualifying practice, the fastest time achieved by each driver will be published officially. 122. The starting grid for Race 1 will be drawn up in the following way: a) The top twelve positions will be occupied by the cars which took part in Q2. The fastest car will start the race from the position on the grid which is the pole position according to each circuit license. b) Any car eligible for Q2 that does not complete a timed lap in Q2 will be placed in 12th position. If 2 or more cars fail to complete a timed lap in Q2, they will be placed following the same principle, according to their relative positions in Q1. c) The next positions will be occupied by the cars eliminated during Q1. 123. Should two or more drivers have set identical times, priority will be given to the one who set it first. Once the grid for Race 1 has been established in accordance with 121 a), b) and c), grid position penalties (if any) will be applied to the drivers in question in the order in which the offences were committed. 124. Any driver whose best qualifying lap of Q1 exceeds 107% of the fastest time in Q1 will not be allowed to take part in the race. Under exceptional circumstances, which may include setting a lap time in a previous free practice session, the Stewards may permit the car to start the race. Should more than one driver be accepted in this manner, their order will be determined by the Stewards. In neither case may a team appeal against the Stewards’ decision. 125. The final starting grid of Race 1 and the final starting grid for Race 2 will be published 60 minutes before the opening of the pit lane on each race day; the provisional starting grid of Race 1 will be published as soon as possible after Qualifying session, the provisional starting grid for Race 2 will be published as soon as possible after Race 1. The starting grid for Race 1 will be determined by the final results of Q2 for the top 12 positions, and of Q1 for the rest. Any competitor whose car(s) is (are) unable to start for any reason whatsoever (or who has good reason to believe that their car (s) will not be ready to start) must inform the Race Director or TCR Technical Delegate accordingly at the earliest opportunity and, in any case, no later than 45 minutes before the start of Race 1. After the publication of the final grid, the gaps on the grid for Race 1 will not be closed. For the Race 2 grid

18



2020 a) Positions 1-10 will be occupied by the first 10 cars from Qualifying final result in reverse order. In case Q2 is not taking place for any reasons the positions 1-10 will be occupied by the first 10 cars from Q1 results in reverse order. b) The 11th and 12th positions will be occupied by the cars from Q2 that are not in reverse order. The other cars will be placed behind them and will take the start from the 13th place and so on until the last placed car in Q1. c) After the publication of the final grid, the gaps on the grid for Race 2 will not be closed. d) Between the two races, any competitor who wishes the Parc Fermé rules to be neutralised must submit a written request to this effect to the Stewards of the Meeting via the Technical Delegate. Such a request must be submitted at the latest fifteen minutes after the chequered flag of Race 1. e) All cars that have lost the right to line up according to the positions obtained in Qualifying Practice sessions for neutralisation of the Parc Fermé after Race 1 will line up at the back of the starting grid for Race 2 in the order of their qualifying positions in Q1. BRIEFING 126. A briefing by the Race Director will take place preferably on the day before the first free practice. All drivers entered in the Competition, and their competitors’ appointed representatives must be present throughout the briefing; any absence shall result in a fine of 1.000 euro for the first infringement, 2.000 euro for the second absence and 3.000 euro for the third time, according to ISC, the Steward may disqualify any drivers after the fourth absence. If the Race Director considers that another briefing is necessary, this will take place at a time and place agreed with the Stewards of the Meeting. The drivers and the competitors’ representatives will be informed accordingly. STARTING PROCEDURE 127. Race 1: 15 minutes before the time of the start of the formation lap, the pit exit will be opened and the cars will be permitted to leave the pits to cover a reconnaissance lap. At the end of this lap, they will stop on the grid in starting order with their engines stopped. Should they wish to cover more than one reconnaissance lap, this must be done by driving through the pit lane at a greatly reduced speed between laps. Any car, which does not finish the reconnaissance lap and does not reach the grid or the pit lane under its own power, will not be permitted to start the race. After the race, the car will be brought back to Parc Fermé. 128. Race 2: 15 minutes before the time for the start of the formation lap, the pit exit will be opened, and the cars will be permitted to leave the pits to cover a reconnaissance lap. At the end of this lap, they will stop on the grid in starting order with their engines stopped. Should they wish to cover more than one reconnaissance lap, this must be done by driving through the pit lane at a greatly reduced speed between laps. Any car, which does not finish the reconnaissance lap and does not reach the grid or the pit lane under its own power, will not be permitted to start the race. After the race, the car will be brought back to Parc Fermé. 129. 10 minutes before the time for the start of the formation lap, the pit exit will be closed, and a message on the time monitor will be given. Any car, which is still in the pits, can start from the pits, but only under the direction of the marshals. It may be moved to the pit exit only with the driver in position. Where the pit exit is immediately after the Line, all such cars may then join the race once the whole field has passed the end of the pit lane for the first time after the start. Where the pit exit is immediately before the Line, cars will join the race as soon as the whole field has crossed the Line after the start. 130. The use of an external battery is authorised on the starting grid, in the working area, in front of the team’s garage and in the waiting area at the end of the pit lane in case of a start from there. 131. The approach of the start will be announced by signals shown ten minutes, five minutes, three minutes, one minute and fifteen seconds before the start of the formation lap, each of which will be accompanied by an audible warning.

19



2020 When the ten-minute signal is shown, everybody except drivers, officials and team technical staff must leave the grid. Wheel changes on the starting grid may only be allowed prior to the five-minute signal. When the five-minute signal is shown, all cars must have their wheels fitted. After this signal, wheels may only be removed in the pits. A drive-through penalty will be imposed on any driver whose car did not have all its wheels fully fitted at the five-minute signal. At the three-minute signal, the cars must be resting on their wheels. A drive-through penalty will be imposed on any driver whose car was not resting on its wheels at the three-minute signal. When the one-minute signal is shown, engines will be started and all team technical staff must leave the grid by the time the 15-second signal is given, taking all equipment with them. Refuelling on the grid is prohibited. 132. Thirty-second signal: 30 seconds after this signal a green flag/light will be shown at the front of the grid whereupon the cars will begin a formation lap, maintaining their starting order. The cars will be followed by a race-closing car. During this lap, practice starts are forbidden and the formation must be kept as tight as possible. Overtaking during the formation lap is only permitted if a car is delayed when leaving its grid position and cars behind cannot avoid passing it without unduly delaying the remainder of the field. In this case, drivers may only overtake to re-establish the original starting order. Any driver who is delayed leaving the grid may not overtake another moving car if he was stationary after the remainder of the cars had crossed the Line and must start the race from the back of the grid. If more than one driver is affected, they must form up at the back of the grid in the order in which they left to complete the formation lap. If the Line is not situated in front of the pole position, for the purposes of this Article only, it will be deemed to be a white line one metre in front of pole position. 133. If any driver needs assistance after the 30-second signal, he must indicate this to the marshals. If the car is still unable to start the formation lap, it will be pushed into the pit lane by the shortest route and the mechanics may work on the car again. Any driver being pushed from the grid may not attempt to start his car until in the pit lane. In this case, marshals with yellow flags will stand beside any car (or cars) concerned to warn drivers behind. When leaving the grid, all drivers must proceed at a greatly reduced speed until clear of any Team personnel standing beside the track. Marshals will be instructed to push any car or cars which remain on the grid into the pit lane by the shortest route immediately after all cars able to leave the grid have done so. 134. When the cars have come back to their respective grid positions, a green flag will be shown behind the last grid row. The starter will then show a 5-second signal and will then switch on the red light. Normally, the time lapse between switching on the red lights and extinguishing them will be between 0.2 and 3 seconds. The race will be started by extinguishing the red lights. 135. If, after returning to the starting grid at the end of the formation lap, a problem arises, the following procedures shall apply: a) If a car develops a problem that could endanger the start, the driver must immediately indicate this to the marshals and the marshal responsible for that row must immediately wave a yellow flag. If the Race Director decides the start should be delayed, the green lights will be illuminated two seconds after the abort lights, a board saying “EXTRA FORMATION LAP” will be displayed, and all cars able to do so must complete a further formation lap whilst the car, which developed the problem, is moved into the pit lane. Any driver being pushed from the grid may not attempt to start the car. The team may then attempt to rectify the problem and, if successful, the car may then start from the end of the pit lane. Should there be more than one car involved their starting order will be determined by the order in which they reached the end of the pit lane. Every time this happens, the race will be shortened by one lap. b) If any other type of problem arises, and if the Race Director decides the start should be delayed, the following procedures shall apply: 1) If the race has not been started, the abort lights will be switched on, a board saying “DELAYED START” will be displayed, all engines will be stopped, and the new formation lap will start 5 minutes later with the race distance reduced by one lap. The next signal will be the three-minute signal.

20



2020 2) If the race has been started, the marshals alongside the grid will wave their yellow flags to inform the drivers that a car is stationary on the grid. 3) If, after the start, a car is immobilised on the starting grid, it shall be the duty of the marshals to push it into the pit lane by the fastest route. 4) If the driver is unable to start the car whilst it is being pushed, his mechanics may attempt to start it in the pit lane. If the car then starts, it may re-join the race. The starting signal will be given by extinguishing all red lights. 136. All cars starting from the pit lane must be stopped by the marshals at the pit lane exit. These cars are considered to have started as soon as released by the marshals. The lights at the pit lane exit must be strictly observed. Cars starting from the pit lane will have completed their first lap as soon as they cross the start/finish line for the first time. If the pit lane exit is before the line, cars starting from the pit lane will have completed their first lap as soon as they cross the start/finish line for the second time. 137. During the start of a race, the pit wall must be kept free of all persons with the exception of properly authorised officials and fire marshals, all of whom shall have been issued with and shall be wearing the appropriate pass. 138. A time penalty will be imposed for a false start if so, reported by start line judges, judges of fact, the Race Director or the Starter. 139. Only in the following cases will any variation in the start procedure be allowed: a) If it starts to rain after the five-minute signal but before the race is started and, in the opinion of the Race Director, teams should be given the opportunity to change tyres, the abort lights will be shown on the Line and the starting procedure will begin again at the 10-minute point. If necessary, the procedure set out in Article 135 will be followed. b) If the start of the race is imminent and, in the opinion of the Race Director, the volume of water on the track is such that it cannot be negotiated safely even on wet-weather tyres, the abort lights will be shown on the Line and information concerning the likely delay will be displayed on the timing monitors. Once the start time is known, at least ten minutes’ warning will be given. 140. The Stewards may use any video or electronic means to assist them in reaching a decision. The Stewards may overrule judges of fact. THE RACE 141. A race will not be suspended in the event of rain unless the circuit is blocked, or it is dangerous to continue. 142. If a car stops during the race, it must be removed from the track as quickly as possible so that its presence does not constitute a danger or hinder other competitors. If the driver is unable to drive the car from a dangerous position, it shall be the duty of the marshals to assist him. If any such assistance results in the engine starting and the driver re-joining the race, the car will be disqualified from the results of the race. If technical means are used by the marshals to remove the car to a safe position, this assistance cannot be used to help the driver/car concerned to re-join the race, except under Article 141. 143. During the race, drivers leaving the pit lane will do so only when the light at the pit lane exit is green and under their own responsibility. A marshal with a blue flag, or a blue flashing light, will also warn the driver if cars are approaching on the track. SAFETY CAR 144. Article 2.10 of Appendix H. Paragraph 2.10.16 does not apply to this Series. It is replaced with the following text: In each race, the first two complete Safety Car laps are added to the race distance. FULL COURSE YELLOW

145. The Race Director may declare a Full Course Yellow (FCY) if he deems this necessary for safety reasons.

21



2020 When an FCY is declared: a message is displayed on the timing monitors, and all marshal posts will display a waved yellow flag and may display a board with the indication FCY. Once under FCY, cars will slow down safely, but quickly, to 60 km/h and remain in a single line, maintaining their distance to the car in front and the car behind. Overtaking is strictly prohibited under FCY. Any car being driven unnecessarily slowly, erratically or in a manner deemed potentially dangerous to other drivers at any time whilst the FCY is in use will be reported to the stewards. This will apply whether any such car is being driven on the track, the pit entry or the pit lane exit road. During an FCY, the pit lane entry and exit remain open. Any driver causing an FCY is reminded not to speed once he re-joins the track. The pit lane entry and exit remain open and cars are free to pit. Once the problem(s) is/are solved, the Race Director will return the track to green; a message will be displayed on the timing monitors and all marshal posts will replace the yellow flags and FCY boards with waved green flags. Racing and overtaking will normally resume without restrictions, regardless of the positions of the cars relative to one another and to the Line. During a race, an FCY period may be followed by a Safety Car intervention if needed. Unless the driver was already in the pit entry for the purpose of serving his drive-through and/or Stop & Go penalty when the FCY procedure was deployed, he may not serve the penalty after the FCY procedure has been deployed. SUSPENDING THE RACE 146. Should it become necessary to suspend the race because the circuit is blocked by an accident or because weather or other conditions make it dangerous to continue, the Race Director will order red flags to be shown at all marshal posts and the abort lights to be shown at the Line. When the signal is given, overtaking is forbidden, the pit exit will be closed, and all cars must proceed slowly to the red flag line where they must stop in staggered formation. If the leading car on the track is not at the front of the line, any cars between it and the red flag line will be waved off to complete another lap before the race is resumed Any cars unable to return to the grid as a result of the track being blocked, will be brought back when the track is cleared and will be arranged in the order they occupied before the race was suspended. The order of the cars will be determined according to the positions they occupied at the end of the circuit section covered before the decision to suspend the race was taken. All such cars will then be permitted to resume the race. The Safety Car will then be driven to the front of the line of cars behind the red flag line. Whilst the race is suspended: - It will be at the Race Director's discretion, whenever the competition time table allows so, to stop the clock in case of applying Red Flag during races; - cars may be worked on once they have stopped behind the red flag line or entered the pits, but any such work must not impede the resumption of the race; - refuelling and/or removing of fuel is forbidden; - only team members and officials will be permitted on the grid. Cars may enter the pit lane when the race is suspended, but a drive-through penalty will be imposed on any driver who enters the pit lane or whose car is pushed from the grid to the pit lane after the race has been suspended. Any car which was in the pit entry or pit lane when the race was suspended will not incur a penalty. All cars in the pit lane will be permitted to leave the pits once the race has been resumed, but any which were in the pit entry or pit lane when the race was suspended will be released before any others. Subject to the above, any car intending to resume the race from the pit exit may do so in the order they got there under their own power, unless another car was unduly delayed. RESUMING THE RACE

22



2020 147. The delay will be kept as short as possible and, as soon as a resumption time is known, teams will be informed via the timing monitors; in all cases, warning of restart will be given at “appropriate intervals” as updated information is received in Race Control regarding the track condition. Signals will be shown five minutes, three minutes, one minute, and fifteen seconds before the resumption, and each of these will be accompanied by an audible warning. When the five-minute signal is shown, all cars must have their wheels fitted; after this signal, wheels may only be removed in the pit lane or on the grid during a further race suspension. A drive-through penalty will be imposed on any driver whose car did not have all its wheels fully fitted at the five-minute signal. At the three-minute signal, the cars must be resting on their wheels. A drive-through penalty will be imposed on any driver whose car did not resting on its wheels at the three-minute signal. At some point after the three-minute signal, which will be dependent upon the expected lap time, any cars between the red flag line and the leader will be waved off to complete a further lap, without overtaking, and join the line of cars behind the Safety Car. When the one-minute signal is shown, engines should be started, and all team personnel must leave the grid by the time the 15-second signal is given, taking all equipment with them. If any driver needs assistance after the 15-second signal, he must indicate this to the marshals and, when the remainder of the cars able to do so has left the grid, marshals will be instructed to push the car into the pit lane. In this case, marshals with yellow flags will stand beside any car (or cars) concerned to warn drivers behind. Any driver who is unable to start the formation lap must indicate this to the marshals. When leaving the grid, all drivers must proceed at a greatly reduced speed until clear of any team personnel standing beside the track. Marshals will be instructed to push any car (or cars) remaining on the grid into the pit lane by the shortest route as soon as all cars able to leave the grid have done so. Any driver being pushed from the grid may not attempt to start his car until in the pit lane and must follow the instructions of the marshals. The race will be resumed behind the Safety Car when the green lights are illuminated. The Safety Car will enter the pits after one lap unless all cars are not yet in a line behind the Safety Car and team personnel are still clearing the grid or a further incident occurs necessitating another intervention. When the green lights are illuminated, the Safety Car will leave the grid with all cars following, in the order in which they stopped behind the red flag line, no more than 5 car lengths apart. Soon after the last car in line behind the Safety Car passes the end of the pit lane, the pit exit light will turn green; any car in the pit lane may then enter the track and join the line of cars behind the Safety Car. Overtaking during this lap is permitted only if a car is delayed when leaving the red flag line and cars behind cannot avoid passing it without unduly delaying the remainder of the field. In this case, drivers may only overtake to re-establish the order before the race was suspended. Any driver who is delayed leaving the red flag line may not overtake another moving car if he was stationary after the remainder of the cars had crossed the red flag Line and must form up at the back of the line of cars behind the Safety Car. If more than one driver is affected, they must form up at the back of the field in the order in which they left the grid. Penalties may be imposed on any driver who, in the opinion of the Stewards, unnecessarily overtook another car during the lap. If the race cannot be resumed, the results will be taken at the end of the penultimate lap before the lap during which the signal to suspend the race was given. FINISH 148. The end-of-race signal will be given at the Line as soon as the leading car has completed the full race distance in accordance with Article 12 by crossing the line on the track 149. Should for any reason the end-of-race signal be given before the leading car completes the scheduled number of laps, the race will be deemed to have finished when the leading car last crossed the Line before the signal was given. Should the end-of-race signal be delayed for any reason, the race will be deemed to have finished when it should have finished.

23



2020 150. After the end-of-race signal, all classified cars must proceed on the circuit directly to the Parc Fermé without any unnecessary delay, without receiving any object whatsoever and without any assistance (except that of the marshals if necessary). Any classified car, which cannot reach the Parc Fermé under its own power, will be placed under the exclusive control of the marshals, who will direct the car to the Parc Fermé. PARC FERME 151. Only those officials responsible for supervision may enter the Parc Fermé. No intervention of any kind is allowed there unless authorised by such officials. 152. As soon as the end-of-qualifying or end-of-race signal has been shown at the Line, Parc Fermé Regulations will apply in the area between the Line and the Parc Fermé entrance. 153. The Parc Fermé shall be sufficiently large and secure that no unauthorised persons can gain access to it. Parc Fermé between the races: 154. A. From the moment the end-of-race signal for Race 1 and Race 2 is shown, the Parc Fermé rules will apply, with the exception that, under the supervision of the marshals, electronic devices may be connected to the cars for the sole purpose of reading data. Such connecting systems must be located on the exterior bodywork of the cars. Team personnel must push cars in Parc Fermé, the location of which will be determined at each Competition according to the circumstances of the site. If the Race Director allows so, the cars may also permit to be driven to Parc Fermé, when the distance require it. B. The Parc Fermé will end when the Stewards decided so, at least 30 minutes after the posting time of the Provisional Classification. E. The Parc Fermé must be positioned as close as possible to the podium, preferably immediately below, with direct access. As soon as all the cars have crossed the Line, a course car must go around the track to collect any driver who has finished in the first three but is stranded on the circuit. The drivers must not be delayed in the Parc Fermé. One person, nominated by the master of ceremonies and in radio contact with him, will be responsible for moving the drivers from the Parc Fermé to the podium without delay. Only persons authorised by the master of ceremonies may make contact with the drivers before the end of the TV unilateral interviews. CLASSIFICATION 155. The car placed first will be the one having covered the scheduled distance in the shortest time. All cars will be classified taking into account the number of complete laps they have covered, and for those which have completed the same number of laps, the order in which they crossed the Line. 156. Only cars which have covered at least 75% of the race distance covered by the winner will be classified. Should 75% not result in a full number of laps, the decimals will be disregarded. 157. The official overall classification will be published after the race. These will be the only valid results subject to any amendments, which may be made under the Code and these Sporting Regulations. PODIUM CEREMONIES 158. a) The podium ceremony will take place in accordance with the regulations and following the instructions of the Series promoter. b) The drivers finishing the races in 1st, 2nd and 3rd positions, and a representative of the winning Team, must attend the prize-giving ceremonies on the podium which will be held after each race and, immediately after the ceremony for Race 2, make themselves available for a period of 90 minutes for the purpose of unilateral television interviews and the press conference in the media centre. c) 4 trophies will be presented during the podium ceremony: 1) the winning driver

24



2020 2) the driver classified 2nd 3) the driver classified 3rd 4) a representative of the winning Team 159. The first three drivers in qualifying must take part in the post-qualifying Press Conference at the time indicated in the detailed timetable of the Competition. The first three drivers of each race must take part in the post-race Press Conference at the time indicated in the detailed timetable of the Competition. A fine of 1000 euros will be imposed on any competitor who is absent. APPENDIX 1
